Do you ever give in to those days when you just want to stay in bedand pull the covers over your head?As much as it sounds appealing to curl up under my down comforteron a cold and rainy day,it's not something I ever do.I'm too practical to waste a day, but, hey, I'm not judging.In fact, I admire those of you who allow yourselves the gift ofa day in bed doing nothing. I'd like to do it........It's just not in my DNA.

Now that we've given the bedroom an update, and painted it a neutral color,I find myself wandering in often, just to admire its new look.

Even thoughit feels more serene, and conducive to napping,I still can't justify spending the day in there, whiling away the hoursin my pj's.

We don't have a TV in the bedroom,so it's not like Ican lounge around in bed and binge-watchThe Crown all day.TheTV is in our den, just off the bedroom,and I can't see it from the bed. (Speaking of The Crown, if you want to see "the queen" of all makeovers, click here to see what the den used to look like).

The side table used to be in the living room; the painting was previously on another wall.

I can barely sleep at night in pitch darkness, let alone snooze in broad daylight.I'm no more a napper than I am a rapper, or a trapper,(although some may say I'm a bit of a yapper).My eyes would probably never shut once,if I spent the day in bed.

Sure, I could curl up with a good book, but after an hour, I'd be jumping out of bed every two minutes, thinking of things I should be doing.

Better throw in a load of laundry!Am I missing any ingredients for tonight's dinner?Did Junior Goo Shoes shut the garage door when he left this morning?Is there water in Sadie'sbowl?What can I eat?Did the mailman come yet?Where is that beach cover up I'll need three months from now?

Bedroom - Before

Bedroom After

I've got what's called "shpilkes,"otherwise known as nervous energy.

Nah, I'm not one for lounging around doing nothing.Although it sure does sounds appealing.......YAWN.....😫Maybe I should go upstairs and give it a try.

PS - In case you're wondering, I'm only showing you part of the bedroom makeover.I was too lazy to make the bed, on the other side of the room.Just kidding - I'll show you that angle after I replace the bed linens.Admittedly, that could be years from now, lol.

About Me

After a lengthy career in the TV industry, I've put my dress-for-success clothes into storage, and tried on my domestic “genes” instead. Follow me as I satisfy my nesting instincts, fulfill my passion for travel and do a little soul-searching…all while trying to stay one step ahead of my teenager.
